Pop up screen in dreamweaver

[varsha_kavitkar375630]

Hello,

This post is regarding creating a Pop-Up screen in dreamweaver. The thing my client wants is whenever a user visits his website, he should see a pop-up screen (blocking the main page view). In this pop-up screen he wants to show a 10min. video & grab some user's information (name & e-mail). and only after watching this video and entering info, a user can navigate to main page.

My question is how to create this type of stubborn pop-up screen? I am aware of Normal pop-up screens.

Please help me!!!! He is running behind me to get it done ASAP within a day.

Thanks in advance.

Take a look at the jQuery plugin BlockUI (http://malsup.com/jquery/block/). It will allow you to block out a page and show whatever content you want to. See the site for all of the options that are available, inparticular take a look at the Page Blocking tab. What you'd do is have a DIV that contains your moive and your form.

The problem you're going to have is to figure out how to identify folks that have filled out the form. One way would be to use SecurityAssist (http://www.webassist.com/software/securityassist/)to create a log in page, and then those that have logged in don't see the movie, or you could use Cookies Toolkit (http://www.webassist.com/software/cookies-toolkit/) to set a cookie when the form is submitted and then check for the cookie before showing the movie.
